Description Tim Niemueller 2007-12-11 12:39:35 UTC
Description of problem:
IOWarrior is not enabled by default in Fedora kernels. Is there a specific
reason for this? Otherwise I'd ask for enabling it as a module as it would make
life a lot easier and the libiowkit could be build and put into the repository.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8

Additional info:
The driver is *not* marked as development or experimental driver and we are
using it for quite some time now. I can't see why this shouldn't be built as a
module.

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2007-12-11 21:54:13 UTC
Enabled in Fedora 8 (2.6.23.9-88) and rawhide.

Comment 2 Tim Niemueller 2007-12-12 12:54:31 UTC
Great! I have contacted Codemercs. They do not have any licensing information
about the accompanying library. As soon as this is made clear I'll package the
libiowkit (actually I did already, but I'll wait with the review request).
